Hyperglycemia in Joint Replacement Recipients: Glucose Metabolism Disorders and Metabolic Syndrome in Osteoarthritis Patients Before and After Primary Hip and Knee Replacement

Description

Glucose metabolism disorders (diabetes and pre-diabetes) and metabolic syndrome are common
in joint replacement recipients. Improved physical activity following joint replacement
could lead to better glucose control in diabetes and ameliorate impaired glucose and
cholesterol levels. In this study patients previously recruited to "Perioperative
Hyperglycaemia in Primary Total Hip and Knee Replacement" study are being followed-up for
one year in order to analyze if joint replacements have an effect on these metabolic
abnormalities. In addition, the effect of glucose metabolism disorders on occurrence of
persistent pain after surgery is analyzed.

Trial information was received from ClinicalTrials.gov and was last updated in August 2015.
